Ask ten people how things in their lives are going, and nine of them will respond with, “Busy.”  Everyone I know and talk to regularly describes their life with this solitary word, “Busy.” People are hurrying from one thing to another with a long list of places to be and things to do.

Each of us needs to consider what we cannot do at a high level if our life is crammed full.

1. You can’t have deep, meaningful conversations in a rush.

2. You can’t be fully present with people while thinking about where to be next.

3. You can’t empathize with others because you are not invested emotionally.

4. You can’t share your struggles with a friend in the spare few minutes of your day.

5. You can’t love well in a hurry.

It is quite possible you are rushing from one thing to another without asking if it is worth it.
